Sadler's Wells is a non-profit organization headquartered in the UK. Founded in 1683, and employing approximately 250 individuals, the organization operates a performing arts venue in London, focusing on performing arts as its main product.
On May 6, 2026, Alistair Spalding, Sadler’s Wells artistic director and co-chief executive, described maintaining the relationship with corporate sponsor Barclays as “the most difficult decision” the organization has taken. He noted Sadler’s Wells faced scrutiny and protest over its connection to the bank, but emphasized the need to “add up the sums.” Previously, on March 24, 2026, Sadler's Wells announced it would host a performance of Pina Bausch’s iconic "The Nelken Line" on April 12 as part of the Elixir Festival, showcasing a piece known for Bausch's characteristic line sequences.
